Everyone’s schooling Nadine Dorries over privatising Channel 4 – 13 of the funniest and most brutal takedowns

8.

if this was genuinely the conclusion you came to, you have fundamentally misunderstood the role of Channel 4. Channel 4 does not compete with Netflix and Amazon. Channel 4 will not become Netflix and Amazon with privatisation. It will be swallowed alive and stripped for parts. https://t.co/d3vJZis0H1

The comparison to Netflix and Amazon shows how clueless she is. They are not traditional TV companies and C4 should not try to compete with them.
There is no mandate and no good evidence for this ideological decision. https://t.co/GOKVQKuNR8

Utterly pointless piece of ideologically-motivated vandalism. No-one wants this to happen and there's no coherent rationale. The idea that @nadinedorries thinks Channel 4 should compete with Netflix and Amazon shows how little she knows about C4 or media economics https://t.co/WJSAN3shpV

“I have come to the conclusion!” is such a mad and pompous thing to say from someone who I bet had to check how to spell “conclusion”. https://t.co/R90vyl5xfD

Or, if you prefer.

To conclude …

What a load of utter nonsense. https://t.co/GkeKjcM0z3

And this!

Of course, they would never tweet this, so I thought I’d mock it up for them instead. pic.twitter.com/JPNiAnKe1q
